About Us

SF Python is about building a stronger Dev Community in SF / Bay Area, one meeting at a time.

It was started by Grace Law in Nov 2008 when 35 devs sat behind the desks of a 30ish people start up, ate pizza and listened to a Python Fundamentals talk by Wesley Chun. Today, with the help of Simeon Franklin (Python Instructor at Twitter) and some faithful sponsors, we produce:

It’s a lot of work to put together these events consistently but we believe there is power in in-person interactions. We believe in learning, sharing, and helping each other out. And we have seen the results. We have heard stories of people getting their problems solved because of the talks and the people they met at our events. We have witnessed people grow in their career, from receiving their first internship to landing their first speaking gig at conferences. We have even heard companies migrating to a different platform / technologies after attending our conference. We think there are more we can do and we look forward to your participating - be it attending our events or supporting SF Python financially!
